HP is bundling a 1-TB license for its HP StoreVirtual VSA (Virtual Storage Array) with every new ProLiant Gen9 server and making it available free to customers with non-HP servers based on the new Grantley processors.

Formation Data Systems has $24 million in investments from the likes of Dell and the CEOs of Box and Seagate, and it's not shy about saying customers will have to throw out existing storage to get ready for new applications.

Originally slated to ship early this year, NetApp's FlashRay all-flash storage array is now available not only as a high-performance solution but one which features data migration interoperability with NetApp's flagship FAS line.

File sync and share technology developer Box is adding new enterprise features including workflow management and data retention policies as it continues its move away from its consumer and small business beginnings.
